Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Far Eastside

SNAP participation runs 42.7% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 44%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Housing insecurity runs 35.4% against 14.2% nationally. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $38,056 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.

It sits 1.2 points above the Marion County average of 4.2. At $1,063 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
